    New protocols for all first responders mean the lifeguards may not deal with some minor first aid cases, but will support people to treat themselves.

    The charity is also continuing to urge to everyone to follow beach safety advice:

    • Have a plan - check the weather forecast, tide times and read local hazard signage
    • Keep a close eye on your family – on the beach and in the water
    • Do not allow your family to swim alone
    • Do not use inflatables
    • If you fall into the water unexpectedly, fight your instinct to thrash around and instead lean back, extend your arms and legs, and float
    • In an emergency dial 999, and ask for the coastguard
